IT WAS funny but not really.

It was funny but not at the time!

I wonder how many times this has happened to you? You set out to do good and run into a snag, a snafu, a little bit of trouble.

You want to help. You want to be of assistance but you can’t even get to them before you fall in the ditch.

And then the single mom helps me out of the ditch! Wow! What an amazing thing! I’ll tell you what; leave it to a single mom to not only get me out of a ditch but to have the know-how to get me out. Seriously folks, my tires were spinning and spinning trying to drive up out of this ditch before dear single mom came to my rescue.

So thank you so much, Dear Single Moms, for all that you do for your families, for other people and at the same time managed to keep your wits about you.

And a big THANK YOU to the dear single mom who helped me out of a ditch, tonight.

The Difference Between Heart Belief and Mental Doubts

“Faith involves an intimate relationship with God, where the will of God surpasses the desires of the human will. We must not allow doubt to rise up in our heart when we become aware of God’s intention to move giant obstacles on our behalf. Instead we must believe with all our heart that God will bring to pass all of his promises. The doubts that cause destruction and bring failure are those which mount up in our heart, not those that frustrate our minds. ” Read the rest in the link below.

Thanks for sharing, Gary Meuser from your book A Smarter Heart. This was a good reminder to remember that there is a difference between believing in your heart the promises of God which can be different from the doubts in your mind.

Thanks.

So dear Single Moms, I want to encourage you not to give up on your God given dreams. Not to give up on the word of God being true. And please don’t give up on your kids no matter how much they might be acting outside of their God given calling to be the children of God, to honor their mother and father that their days may be long, to worship God with all their hearts, mind, and soul. … and so many other scriptures that tells children how to be, along with their natural bend towards their life calling.

Be encouraged, dear Single Moms! God hears your prayers and he has an answer.

“For assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his HEART, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:23″And he said to them, ‘Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your HEARTS?'” Luke 24:38

Questioning in your mind the hope for a divine intervention by God does not in itself constitute unbelief. On the other hand, allowing doubt to become embedded in your heart will undermine your faith to a point of certain failure. Our faith is not rallied by repeatedly rehearsing in our mind a desired result. The power of positive thinking has nothing to do with believing that God will act providentially on our behalf. Faith is not a function of our intellect. Faith and the heart are working partners that do not require the assistance of a highly stimulated mind.

Ponder This – Have you been caught in a trap of trying to increase your faith by increasing your intellect? Although increased intellect is helpful in many things, it cannot replace a believing heart in growing faith.

Now I know that is not news to some of you. But look at this devotion written on March 23, 2016 by Gary Meuser based on his book A Smarter Heart.

“…for the life of all flesh is its blood…” Leviticus 17:14

“Blood is life for every creature that God has or will create. This truth helps us begin to really appreciate the organ in the midst of our chest cavity, the HEART. Your heart, which is approximately the size of your fist, pumps an enormous quantity of blood throughout your body, from before birth until the time of death. The heart pumps approximately two gallons of blood a minute which equals 2,000 to 3,000 gallons a day.Your vascular system, the veins which transport your blood, is 60,000 miles long. If you went on a 45 year long vacation and, to your horror, left the kitchen faucet wide open; that flow of water would equal the amount of blood your heart pumps in a lifetime, around 1.5 million gallons, enough to fill up an ocean oil tanker or 200 train tanker cars. Would you agree with me that God did a marvelous work when he created your heart?

Ponder This – If you put that much capacity and potential into something you created, would you just walk away and let it fend for itself, or would you love and cherish it?”

Hi Single moms.
I know some of you Home school. I thought you might be interested in this book for reading about our heart or for doing a devotion. Gary Meuser, author of A Smarter Heart, writes devotions about the human heart, physically as well as spiritually.

Take a look at this devotion and go to his page to LIKE IT to get the word out to others.

I hope you can be encouraged by the audio interview led by Boyd Chikatulah. I was encouraged and I am the one who spoke in the interview. It was just what I needed today to be reminded to not give up. Things seemed lighter today after listening to my own testimony of how the LORD brought me through in times past.

Sometimes, life can throw you curves. Things happen that were totally unexpected. Yet you have to learn to play hurt, sometimes. You have to roll with the punches, hopefully not literally.

If Single Moms Unite!, LLC can help you, dear single parent, in any way, let me know. Let me know how I can pray for you. That’s one of the reason I try to set up a 1 to 1 meeting with each of you. To hear from you what’s going on in your life, good and bad.

Also set up for the single parent is, Consulting for Single Parents. Consulting is available for Single Parents at a nominal fee to help in areas such as clothing, diet, budgeting, emotional stability and job concerns. There are a number of listed resources to help. Our one to one time is personalized to your experience.

I do hope you all have a great week and that you can make it to church this week. I hope and pray your kids behave as usual or better than usual. 🤓
